Clear Creek Fisheries was established in 1934 by George and Paul Hess. The fisheries was 75 acres of swamp land before the natural springs were taken advantage of and developed into ponds. George and Paul began digging the ponds with a horse and slip scoop, along with a wheel barrel and shovel. George was the first of now five generations of the Hess family to be involved with the fisheries. Once George passed away, Paul Hess, then took over the fisheries. At that time, the fisheries raised mainly goldfish. Once Paul became ill and unable to properly care for the fisheries, Larry Hess, Paul’s son, and also the current owner took over. Larry then decided to specialize in game fish rather than to continue farming goldfish. There are currently 88 ponds being farmed at the fishery. Now, Larry’s son and grandson, Eric and Levi Hess, are a large part of operations at the fisheries. In addition, Clear Creek Fisheries has employed 9 of Larry’s 16 grandchildren. These grandchildren make up the 5th generation in the family business.
